whats needed for IMX over SDI
will be getting an XDCAM deck (PDW-1500) next week, to test with FCP
i understand we need flip4mac’s MXF Import Component to transfer over Ethernet
but can i import IMX over SDI with a basic FCP5 install and Blackmagic Decklink Extreme?
thanks in advance

not to worry, i’ve found the answer in an earlier thread (should have looked harder to begin with!)

One word of warning… If you do plan to purchase the Flip4Mac MXF plugin, make absolutely for sure that you shoot in IMX 50 only. FCP cannot handle IMX 30 or 40 very well at all. We shot our first 10 shows in IMX 40, so at the moment, we have to digitize SDI using IMX 50 and DVCPRO50 codecs. And, oh yeah… PowerMac G4s don’t handle IMX very well at all either. I’ve been rather disappointed by all this.
